A Satisfactory Condition
by Krista | Oct 1, 2015 | Spring
I've been thinking a lot about well-being. What it means. What it feels like. What it looks like. For a time I thought I was supposed to pursue happiness. But in all honesty, I found that pursuit quite exhausting. Limiting myself to one emotion, setting one feeling or...
One More Step
by Krista | Sep 29, 2015 | Spring
"As long as you can take one more step, take it." These words have been ringing in my head since I read them on HONY (Humans of New York) a couple of weeks ago. They helped me be brave in a situation where I thought I couldn't be brave any more. Turns out, I could....
Medieval Food Templar Style
by Krista | Sep 25, 2015 | Spring
One of my favorite things about medieval enactment is learning about the spices, fruits, vegetables, and herbs that were used in medieval times. This past weekend I got to see the Templar style of eating and found it fascinating. My friend Michelle, one of the...
Inspiration in Medieval Villages
by Krista | Sep 23, 2015 | Spring
Bear and I are home safe and sound from our wild and wonderful trip to the St. Ives Medieval Faire. We're utterly knackered after the 27-hour round trip, but chock full of great memories made with old and new medieval friends. It makes me smile to think back on all...
Adventuring with Templars
by Krista | Sep 16, 2015 | Spring
We had a gorgeous storm tonight that brought us some much-needed rain. Even though it wasn't a lot, we are thrilled and thankful. Bear and I have been working flat strap the last few days getting ready to head to St. Ives (near Sydney) for the St. Ives Medieval Faire....
Bullet Point Days and Vanilla Cake with Boozy Cranberries
by Krista | Sep 15, 2015 | Spring
Sometimes I have a lot of words swirling around in my head, tumbling over themselves in a race to get typed into a blog post. And other times, like the last few weeks, I have none. I sit down to my computer and all I can do is feel. The expressions for those feelings...
A Little Spring Hibernation
by Krista | Sep 10, 2015 | Spring
I'm home again after a sunset tractor ride with Bear through our bush. It's one of our favorite things to do together, getting totally away from everything and trundling along on our old red Massey tractor as we point out roving gangs of kangaroos, the exquisite light...
Spring Greens, Kindness, and A Stove Named Rosie
by Krista | Sep 4, 2015 | Spring
It's one of those funny sorts of days where I'm perfectly happy but feel all sorts of emotional, getting weepy at the drop of a hat. I know it's because of all the kindness I've received and observed this week. It never fails to turn my heart to mush and make me a bit...
The End of Winter
by Krista | Sep 1, 2015 | Winter
It's still quite shivery this morning as we welcome September 1st and prepare for the much longed for Spring. You can see glimpses of it in budding berry canes, flowering fruit trees, and a shimmering green through the waving brown grasses in the fields. Chickens and...
